The last time we spoke, it was during the Volkhan War when Xeno Alliance ships opened fire on myself and a small squadron. That of course didn't leave a good impression and our relations have been anything but warm since then.
I seek to change that, however. With our recent increase in operations within Liberty we can no longer ignore each other. While we have been doing relatively well on our own, it would be foolish of us not to attempt to make friends in the region, or in this case rekindle a past friendship.
Our methodologies differ but in the end we both seek the same goal. To over-throw the current Government of Liberty. We can work together towards this end and we can provide significant fire-support. In order to do that however, we will need a base of operations in Liberty.
I have searched the databases of some of our older Storms and found that Dryden Station in Ontario is an ideal location. Remote and concealed, though a relatively unpleasant place to live. Thankfully, all we require is a place to refuel and rearm, we can take care of our own accommodations. In return, I can see about having some of my technicians install a heating system within Dryden and upgrade it.
I am willing to rekindle our past friendship, the question now is, are you?

So let me understand you correctly...
You say you want to overthrow the current government of Liberty?
But so do Rheinlanders. How do you think, why do we kill 'em?
Why didn't we let 'em dock on Barrow? I'm sure they'd love it...
Well, maybe that's because they want Liberty to be part of their reinlandish reich?
Oh, wait... you want the Liberty to be part of your coalition, don't you?
Oh, and how kind of you that you want to mount a heating system in our base?
WE ARE NO BEGGARS!
We don't need your pity.
So tell you what. I won't order my people to shoot you on sight only because I find you kinda useful.
See... if my enemy has more targets to choose from, I will probably have more time to aim.

I was hoping for a more hospitable answer, though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised given our history and the way the Xenos have reacted to our presence the past few days.
It's a shame that we couldn't come settle our differences but perhaps we are far too different now that Premier Katz, a former Xeno is no longer in charge.

yeah, yeah... you want to take our jobs, you want to take our resources, you want to take our space...
The time, I can give you myself. The rest... don't you even try to take.
